The team has been selected for the semi -finals of the Champions Trophy 2025. Both semi -finals will be played on March 4 and 5. The first semi -finals will be played between India and Australia. South Africa will face New Zealand in the second semi -finals. Now if we tell you that this semi -final would be exactly the same as it was 10 years ago, will you believe? Yes, the story of the 2015 World Cup semi -finals is being repeated in the Champions Trophy semi -finals. Even then the same teams clashed with each other in the semi -finals and now they will compete to make it to the finals.
ICC ODI tournament as semi -finals 10 years ago
Now the 10 -year -old story has been repeated in the semi -finals of the ICC ODI tournament. But it would be better than Team India’s perspective that the result does not come out. Overall, Team India also has a chance to equalize the score. Then 10 years ago, what happened in the semi -finals of the 2015 World Cup? There too, the line-up Champions Trophy for the semi-finals was similar to 2025. India faced Australia and South Africa faced New Zealand.
India vs Australia, South Africa vs New Zealand
In the semi -finals of the 2015 World Cup, Australia defeated India by 95 runs and confirmed their place in the final. However, this was the second semi -final of that World Cup. In the first semi -finals, New Zealand defeated South Africa by 4 wickets on the basis of Duckworth Lewis. The only change in the Champions Trophy 2025 is that the first semi -final will be between India and Australia. South Africa and New Zealand will compete in the second semi -finals.
48 hours important in Champions Trophy
It is clear that 48 hours in the Champions Trophy are very important. Here 48 hours mean 4 and 5th, the day both semi -finals will be played. In these two days, it will be interesting to see if the 10 year old history is really repeating itself. Or there is a little change in it. The way India and South Africa have played in the Champions Trophy 2025 so far, anything is possible.
